Survey on K-12 Students' Use of AI Chatbots

Purpose

In recent years, large language model (LLM) chatbots — such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and others — have become increasingly popular. These AI-powered tools generate human-like responses based on vast amounts of data and are being used for tasks such as answering questions, helping with schoolwork, and even casual conversation.

As AI continues to evolve, more and more students are incorporating LLM chatbots into their daily learning routines. While these tools can offer educational support, they also raise important questions about responsible use, academic integrity, privacy, and reliance on AI for problem-solving. This survey aims to gather insights from educators, parents, and guardians to better understand how K-12 learners are using these chatbots. Your responses will help provide a clearer picture of how AI is shaping education and how we can ensure its responsible use.
